Former Royal Saint-Germain café (Boulevard Saint-Germain)

Fresh off the road from Marseille, Michel orders a breakfast he cannot pay for at the Royal Saint-Germain café on this corner, facing the old church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The café is long gone (a fashion boutique occupies the corner), but the square, the church and the Deux Magots opposite make it worth the detour.
